Brandon Bolster was a English landlord who lived on his estate near Athlacca, Ireland with his family. He was the father of Richard, Jane, and another younger daughter.
Biography
In 1822, a group of about fifty men attacked the Bolster Estate during the night, after he decided to use farm lands to feed cattle and to increase his income, depriving his farmers of the means to feed their families. Despite the pleas of Richard, who agreed with them, Brandon stubbornly refused to negotiate with the farmers due to rising tensions growing between the landlords and their tenants in Ireland, with the tenants having begun organizing themselves in secret societies such as the Whiteboys.[1]
The Bolsters and their household armed themselves and faced the angry crowd besieging their house, but were quickly overrun by their numbers.[1] The Whiteboys damaged the house extensively, breaking the windows and took Bolster's musket after threatening him. The money in the house was left untouched though.[2] Brandon survived, however, and would later go on to father another child.[1]
Legacy
Brandon Bolster later became an ancestor of Sean Molloy, a 21st century crippled teenager working for the Templars. The Templars discovered that Sean's time in the Animus reliving the life of the 19th century Pinkerton detective Tommy Greyling had an effect on his motor cortex despite the fact that he was unable to use his legs. They decided to make him relive the memories of another of his ancestors, Brandon Bolster, to study the changes in his brain, with their goal to use the data collected so Abstergo could create new prosthesis with better responses to the brain patterns of their users.[3]
Sean had trouble dissociating from his ancestor when pulled out of the Animus, once considering Brandon's daughters his own for a moment.[1]
